A Hair Stylist Who Knows What You Want

Finding a stylist who understands your vision for your hair can be tough. Finding a stylist who also provides you with a top notch experience is even harder. 
When people find themselves struggling to get one or the other, I want to be the hair stylist they can go to for honesty and an overall high quality experience. Why do I care so much?Early on, I realized that making people feel good about themselves gives me a glowing sense of purpose in my life. Although it didn’t happen right away, I learned the best way I could positively impact the self-image of those around me was through hair. 

By giving people the unique look they want with the gentle experience they deserve (yes guys and kids, you too!) I will always commit myself to helping you create the best version of you.

Becoming The Right Hair Stylist For You

As a person who loves working with her hands, becoming a hair stylist was an easy and very exciting path for me to choose. At the same time, I didn’t want to be just ANY hair stylist. I wanted to be THE hair stylist. Especially, when it comes to giving women the professional level of hair coloring they are looking for.

While I offer the technique of a professional hair  stylist, I am also dedicated to giving my clients more than just great hair. In addition, I offer my clients open ears, open arms, and a genuine connection they can trust and count on.

Through my dedication to quality hair services and professional hair styling techniques, you can expect an experience you enjoy plus results you love.

My Experience

Hair Academy | A New Journey

September 2010
Once I realized I could change the way people felt about themselves through hair, I knew that becoming a hair stylist was what I wanted to do. After completing my first year of college, I made the choice to switch paths and start my new journey at the Salon Professional Acadamy in Iowa City, Iowa.

Practice, Practice, Practice.

February 2012
During my time in hair school, I committed myself to completing 2,100 hours of high level training and instruction from various skilled professionals. With the guidance of highly distinguished hair stylists and instructors, I was introduced to Redken techniques, some of the best hair practices taught in the country.

My Hair Salon

August 2014
Shortly after graduating cosmetology school, I successfully ran my own hair salon in Shellsburg, Iowa for two years. As my hair clientele grew in the Cedar Rapids / Marion area, eventually it made sense to relocate for the sake of my clients as well as my own convenience. Of course, I didn't stop there!

A Perfect Location With Perfect People.

June 2016
Shortly after graduating cosmetology school, I successfully ran my own hair salon in Shellsburg, Iowa for two years. As my hair clientele grew in the Cedar Rapids / Marion area, eventually it made sense to relocate for the sake of my clients as well as my own convenience. Of course, I didn't stop there!

10,000 Hours Later...

July 2021
After years of hard work, personal growth, and continuing to master the art of becoming a professional hair stylist, I achieved something amazing. In July of 2021, I hit 10,000 documented project hours as a professional hair stylist. If you're wondering why that is so important to me, I'll tell you. The reason this matters is because it takes roughly 10,000 hours to master a skill and become an "expert" in almost anything. Now that I have reached that benchmark, I can confidently call myself a professional hairstylist with the experience and credentials to back it up. Learn more about my credentials below.
